Motion text

That this House notes the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE) was established as the main provider of social housing over 50 years ago and since its establishment with thousands of employees, it has consistently had an under representation of Protestants, despite the issue being raised on numerous occasions in the decades since; further notes the disadvantage suffered by Protestants has worsened considerably according to recent statistics released by the NIHE under Freedom of Information legislation; and calls on the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland to take steps to ensure that, given the historic circumstances of jobs and housing in Northern Ireland, specific action is taken to bring about a more equitable outcome.
